Xu Jiaqing is accused of arranging for a minor to accompany him on trips and her husband’s private use of an official car. The case is being investigated by the Beijing Inspection Bureau.

Xu Jiaqing, chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council, was accused by the popular group of allowing his underage son to accompany him on overseas trips as a "photographer" while her husband, Tang Bowei, used his official vehicle for overseas missions. Xu Jiaqing said today that the official budget was used in accordance with the law and there was no profit-making. In this regard, the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office has compiled the reports, separated the cases, and handed them over to the prosecutors of the black gold team who are responsible for the case of Xu using his authority to allow his son to participate in the Dongsha Island experience camp for investigation.

The Dongsha Island case originated from Xu Jiaqing's son's participation in the "2025 Overseas Chinese Youth Dongsha Ecological Experience Camp". The Kuomintang Party's questioning activities were tailor-made for him. On August 13, he went to the Beijing Prosecutor's Office to report suspected of profiteering and other crimes. The prosecutor investigated other cases. The Supervisory Yuan previously determined that Xu failed to recuse himself in accordance with the law and violated the "Public Officials' Conflict of Interest Revocation Act" and fined him 100,000 yuan. Xu said that his son met the registration qualifications, and he was invited to participate because he was worried about insufficient numbers. Neither he nor his son benefited from this.

The People's Party held a separate press conference yesterday, quoting people familiar with the situation abroad, saying that when Xu Jiaqing went on a business trip to France, Germany and other countries in 2022, he took his son, who was about 13 or 14 years old at the time, with him throughout the trip and "packaged him as a photographer", questioning his qualifications for hospitality and transportation from the overseas Chinese community.

The party group also played recordings of testimonies from overseas Chinese community members, stating that Xu Jiaqing went to New York and Washington at least 3 or 4 times in 2024, while Tang Bowei was accused of driving an official vehicle stationed abroad on his own, and requested the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ political conduct unit to investigate. The party group today once again questioned whether Xu treated his official trip as a family trip when he attended an overseas Chinese community event in Vancouver in 2024, when his husband and son were also present.

The Overseas Chinese Affairs Council clarified yesterday that official itineraries and expenses were declared, verified and executed in accordance with the law, and there was absolutely no misuse of public funds for personal gain. Xu Jiaqing said in the Legislative Yuan today that the public budget information has been inspected twice in the past two or three months from 2020 to now, and both proved that it was handled in accordance with the law.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that official vehicles stationed abroad should be used according to official needs. Although no complaints or reports have been received, the station will still be asked to find out; personal and family care needs will be respected, but the use of official resources should be distinguished, and the latter must still be handled in accordance with regulations.
